He requested to place his name in the Sl.No.01 among others on vertical seniority,
based on his date of promotion as Senior Lecturer and as well as his date of birth.
On verification of records it is found that the request of the above incumbent is not
feasible to consider as he belongs general section and promoted in the same. There is
a ratio (2:5) in between Non-Engineering and Engineering branches for promotion to the
post of Principal. He promoted in the above said ratio. Hence, his request is rejected.
(2) Smt. N. Aroji Rani, Principal, Govt. Polytechnic, Gannavaram (Sl.No.24), Sri
K.S.Vara Prasad, APT, Kakinada (Sl.No.40), Sri Phaneendra Prasad, Principal,
Govt. Polytechnic, Visakhapatnam (Sl. No. 41): The above 03 Principals requested to

Dt:27/08/2016, and stated that, in the Special Rules for A.P. Technical Education
services, issued vide G.O.Ms.No.178 Higher Education (TE.2) Department,
Dt.09.12.2005 no rules were prescribed for preparation of Seniority list of Principals for
promotion to the post of Joint Director. Hence, in the absence of the special rules for
governing seniority for any particular post, the seniority in the feeder category has to be
taken. The 03 above Principals requested to protect their seniority and place them in the
appropriate place.
W.r.to the objection, it is observed that Government vide Memo
No.11703/TE.I/A2/2006-3, Dated: 12.12.2006 of Higher Education (TE.I) Department

days as on 1.9.2006, in respect of Smt. N. Aroji Rani, Sri K.S. Vara Prasad and Sri D.
Phanindra Prasad, and accordingly they have been considered for promotion to the post
of Principal on ad-hoc basis through DPC as per their seniority and their names have
been recommended by the DPC for empanelment for promotion to the posts of
Principals for the panel year 2006-07 against the SC carry forward vacancies, in their
meeting held on 30.08.2007. Based on the recommendations of the DPC, their names

reservation roster / points are meant only for identifying the vacancy that goes to
a particular category of officer and in no way acts as a determinant for fixation of
seniority of the officer in a panel recommended by the DPC.”
The above 03 incumbents are juniors to the promotees of the panel year 2006-07. In
